Canadian Biosafety Symposium
Join us in Winnipeg, from June 6th - 9th, 2010 for Canada’s annual event for biosafety professionals and personnel involved in biosafety and/or biocontainment facilities.
The Canadian Biosafety Symposium will feature presentations and posters on an array of biosafety topics, including containment facilities design, maintenance and equipment; laboratory management and operations; animal containment; biosecurity; and, infectious diseases affecting human and animals. It will be a unique opportunity for the biosafety community to learn and share knowledge with colleagues from across Canada and other countries.
The 2009 Symposium brought together a number of participants working across the biosafety field in universities, government and the private sector, such as:
- Laboratory managers and administrators
- Academic and government laboratory researchers
- Government regulators
- Biocontainment professionals
- Equipment and facilities providers
- Containment facility design and operation specialists
- Risk assessment and safety specialists
The event will feature prominent containment and biosafety specialists, and will involve presentations by the Canadian and international biosafety community selected from abstracts and papers that are currently being welcomed from all sources. Please include: All topics related to biological safety are welcome, however this year we would like to solicit presentations with a particular emphasis on the new world of biosafety and biosecurity in 2010. For example:
- Recent legislative and regulatory changes
- The challenges of implementation in your facility
- A biosafety incident and your responses & resolution
